“My daughter takes precedence over everything,” he said The Telegraph. “I go to all the softball games and I look ridiculous because almost everyone has a much younger father than me. But it’s fun. I think you appreciate it a lot more when you get to my age.”

In 2018, Alison, Kyle and Scott joined their father at the premiere of his film, Mule. The actor’s first wife, Maggie Johnson, was also present.

Kyle says his famous father supported his passion. “I think he appreciates my music,” he said Belfast Telegraph 2014 “We’ve written a few things together, and whenever we’re in the same part of the world, he tries to drop by and catch the band whenever he can.

Alison made her directorial debut with her film in 2007 Rails and connectionsstarring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden.

“It’s been wonderful,” Alison said of her father’s mentorship. “He’s not a man of many words. He doesn’t get chatty. Instead of telling me anything, he let me be a fly on the wall and watch him on another level. It was his way of helping me, showing me how he worked.”

In 2013, Alison married reality show sculptor Stacy Poitras The chainsaw gang in Calabasas, California. “We are thrilled to be surrounded by our family on this very special day and appreciate their love and support as we begin our married life together,” the couple told PEOPLE exclusively.

“I was with my husband… and [producer] Sam Moore called me and said, ‘You know, your dad wants you to do this movie.’ And I almost threw up,” she said. “I retired from acting and kind of threw in the towel and decided to focus on a lot of different things… Then I thought about it more, I said, ‘Well, maybe this is an opportunity not only to play his daughter, but just to spend some time with him.’ And my husband said, ‘If you don’t, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.’ And here I am.”

After the film, Alison returned to her other projects – a now-discontinued clothing line called Eastwood Ranch Apparel and an animal welfare nonprofit she founded called the Eastwood Ranch Foundation.

“My family has always been very supportive of my rescue work. We’re all big animal lovers so it’s something we share and embrace,” she told PEOPLE in 2019.

Scott added: “My dad was pretty old school. I’ve had a job for as long as I can remember and it’s not like he said, ‘Hey, what kind of car do you want?’ My first car was a ’91 Ford Crown Victoria that cost $1,000. And I had to buy every car after that. I had to make everything.”

Scott worked hard to get a part in one of his father’s movies and eventually got the part Gran Torino. Also appeared in The longest ride, Snowden, The fate of the furious, Pacific Ring and Suicide Squad.
